Abstract Global warming may trigger more frequent snow droughts (SD). SD can result from low total precipitation (dry‐SD), high temperatures leading to less solid (warm‐SD), or a combination of both (dry‐warm compound SD). Those three types threaten ecosystems differently. Nevertheless, the regions dominated by types, transition patterns, and future risks under climate change remain unclear. We investigated dominance their patterns across historical periods. By 2100, compared 1981, results project global increases in frequency than 3‐fold 4‐fold SSP2‐4.5 SSP5‐8.5 scenarios, respectively. Moreover, share warm is increasing projected account for 65% 2050. Compared period, probabilities dry‐warm period expected increase 3.7 6.6 times,
